12 years for abusing two minors, recording women and distributing paedophile material

Twelve years and one month in jail were given to a man by the Third Section of the Alicante Provincial Court for abusing two minors, recording several women in the bathrooms of their homes, and making and giving out paedophile material.

The High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) says the accused has been found guilty of six crimes related to finding and telling secrets, two crimes related to sexual abuse of a minor, and crimes related to making child pornography and having and giving away child pornography.

Besides that, the man has to pay the two women who were abused 15,000 and 20,000 euros each in legal liability. Five thousand euros will be given to each of the other victims, who were women and adults and were taped in the privacy of their own homes.

During the December 11th trial, the prosecution, the private prosecution, and the defence of the man who was later found guilty all agreed on the facts that were proven, how they should be interpreted legally, and the sentence that should be given.

The events started in 2009 when the suspect started dating a woman. They were together until 2017, and during that time he lived with her and her two young children in different homes in Dénia (Alicante).

The man put a hidden video camera in the bathroom of these homes so that children or people who sometimes visited could see what was going on.

The device took private pictures of the prisoner’s partner and her 12-year-old daughter, as well as another child who lived in the house and used it, and saved the pictures on a computer.

The accused started seeing another woman with two young girls at the end of 2017. In 2019, he moved in with them in a house in the city of Dianense.

As in the first case, the guy who was found guilty recorded his partner having sex without her permission and saved the video to his phone.

He also touched the woman’s two young daughters when they were between 5 and 6 years old and 7 and 8 years old. He recorded these sexual acts and saved the edited pictures on a computer with child abuse content.

In January 2021, a neighbour asked him if he could change a light bulb in the bathroom, to which the convict agreed and took advantage of this circumstance to also install a hidden camera under the sink in that bathroom.

The device also took private pictures of the renter’s daughter and herself, in which they both looked naked.

On March 9, 2021, the defendant’s home was broken into and searched. Several computers, hard drives, and cell phones were among the electronic devices found. These were used by the man to store a lot of paedophile audiovisual files for his own use and to share with other people.

The decision was made orally, and it was made official at the hearing itself when both sides said they would not be appealing it.
